Let's Control It

giorgino

ah ok , thanks. I haven't understand much but it's ok. I think I have to wait

giorgino

and what about this:

can the Nextion reduce backlight, and go in sleep mode? what about current absortion?

?

giorgino

Please this doesn't work as i tought... I have been able to add 2 features in the PR I linked before - Option to use the selected Serial Port name as the event name. All names start with 'serial', and are appended with their interface, f.e. HW Serial0 -> serial0, HW Serial1 -> serial1, USB HWCDC -> ...

Hi everibody, In these days I'm planning the future of my magicbox, implementing a display touch, with the goal of removing mechanical press buttons. and has a better look, resolution, fonts, jpg and so on I'm having experiences with this two displays: the ILI9341 seems older and "poor" th...

giorgino

do you mean one of these ?

giorgino

do you mean to place the level converter between TX and RX on esp and TX Rx on the nextion?

is it possible to send the neXtion in a sleep mode, or a saving energy mode?

(Nice device!)

giorgino

I wanna give me another way, today it's arrived a NEXTION, the NX3224F024_011
I see ther is a 0 +5 and tx and rx on serial0

I start now.....

OK I have a WT32-sc01-plus, used with a demo workbench (never been able to go over the demo) so can I burn an espeasy on it? great ! wich release do you suggest? I've seen it's a ESP32-s3 with a built in display , are you? and then I will have my gpio for connecting peripherals? I see ther is only a...

giorgino

Can this router setup a VPN to your own local network?

this is a bit out of my skills

giorgino

ok, so this display is not good for my project. Can you suggest me a device with this caracteristic? I need tft color 2,4 or 3,5", with touch zone. the touch need to be easy, with big size ("page scrolling", "reset counter","wake") (capacitive instead of resistive?...

giorgino

so you say that, just to start, it should be enough to connect GND,3.3, LCD_RS (27 - DC), LCD_CS (14,CS) , LCD_RST (26 RST) ?
the display in this condition produce some blinks, random and fast
i can't find a a back light pin so I've connected nothing
Any idea?

giorgino

sorry, you say: Looking at the photos they mayhave either got their descriptions wrong, or the photos wrong, as that seems to be an ILI9486 or ILI9488 display, with the 8 bit parallel bus, the ILI9341 uses a 4-wire SPI bus. In the webpage they say this: 17 SD_SS SD card SPI bus chip select signal, l...

giorgino

mmmhm... yesterday night many tries with 5v connected! sometimes espeasy went offline, then went back alive....

giorgino

I'm testing some displays for my application, and due to its touch sensitive this seems to be the best solution, ( https://www.botnroll.com/en/lcds-displays/4115-2-4-inch-tft-lcd-touch-shield-ili9341-driver.html ) BUT I've some trouble with the connection: first I enable SPI in hardware so I have th...

giorgino

ok, there is another big problem: the wifi network is build with a tplink router 3G/4G/LTE and there is no public IP, or the address is not reachable from outside I don't know how.... also using the port forward and dyndns (or other service like it)

giorgino

you only need to port-forward port 80,

sure is it enough? what about this settings:

Client IP filtering
Client IP block level: ALLOW LOCAL SUBNET

???

giorgino

Ehh port forward to open up the ESPEasy device to the internet? yesssss, your right! , BUT I'm in a special "testing mode", with the device is 130 km far from home: I write the code, at home, then in the weekend I upload on my sailboat, then - sometimes on the way back home - it starts to...

giorgino

I should try to connect remotely (the "box" is onboard, faraway from home), via the router onboard. is this the procedure? : static ip assigned (i.e. 192.168.1.85), portforward on the archer tplink gsm/lte router (internal 85, external 3384), configured the a dyndns.org on that router, con...

giorgino

It sounds strange...
when espeasy disable it, than all works good. So you mean that that task cause crash during boot? so that is the one that has some issue ?

giorgino

device list

giorgino

please, does anyone know how it is possible for a device to disable itself after a while ? I've many devices connected to an ESP32 that collect the sensor of my boat and publish via MQTT on a home assitant dashboard, all working good, but when I left the boat, after a while, this data (TASK 4) stop ...

giorgino

What TFT/graphics library did you use in your Arduino sketch? It was the TFT espi SOLVED: My tft was a 240x240 without CS , I've bought another one from waveshare with more connection (CS too) and finally this works correctly Perfect ! CS pin? I guess I need to study more about SPI protocol... than...

giorgino

excuse me, someone will become tired from my silly question but I'm going crazy... After long time using LCD like 1306 (I2C) I was interested in the SPI family, as ST7789. I connected this device but nothing appear :shock: Spi configured as VSPI: CLK: GPIO-18 MISO: GPIO-19 MOSI: GPIO-23 CS: GPIO-15 ...

giorgino

Just to explain, this is my project:

: Schematic_dimmiBOX_2023-06-29.png (208.24 KiB) Viewed 2163 times

so I will connect serial0 to P33 and serial1 to P25
both with the samebaud rate

Do you think is it right the connection of the 5v 3.3v shiftlevel? with all the GNDs connected toghether? and the 5v too?

giorgino

Ath, you're great ! Thank you very much, this solve many thinghs. I will test the system next weekend (The application lives on my sailboat) For me the problem working with a second ESP is about the current absorbtion, I'm "offgrid" with solar panel and 120A lead battery, so every mA is i...

giorgino

please, Ath, do you think there is another way to use two serials "input channel" ?

giorgino

Unfortunatelly I'm not so sure, because at the moment I have data on "HW Serial0" and, using this syntax: on !Serial* do // when there is trafic on the serial Publish,'waterflow','{%eventvalue%}' // publish it on MQTT endon I see it on mqttexplorer So it doesn't seem discriminating to use ...

so do you think the answer is to use "!Serial0*" and "!Serial1*" to get difference from the input?

Hi I'm using the serial server to get datas from a device (a VICTRON ve-direct) and publishing them on MQTT with this (getting data from HW SERIAL0) on !Serial* do Publish,'VICTRON-ve','{substring:8:15:%eventvalue%}' endon and this work good.

giorgino

ok, perfect

bye

giorgino

everythings is working!!!
Thank you very much

A last question: for the reset switch, that works closing to gnd, isn't enough the internal pullup resistor? do I need the external pullup resistor?

giorgino

yes, just to try i put it at 2 minutes In the log I find this: 31: ACT : config,task,DimmiWaterLevel,SetLevel,23 571038: SaveToFile: free stack: 6024 571140: FILE : Saved config.dat offset: 0 size: 3020 571140: SaveToFile: free stack after: 6024 571141: Skip saving SecuritySettings, not changed 5711...

giorgino

ok, all right,

BUT after powerloss I can't recover old data, they are set to zero. Why??

giorgino

that's great! but: 1: for the reset switch I was using the RESETCOUNTER internal function. Isn't it good? 2: are you sure about dimmiwaterlevel#output in Let,1,[DimmiWaterLevel#Output]-%eventvalue1% ?? that output is always 0 and switch to 1 only when something changes in DimmiWaterLevel 3: after a ...

giorgino

The water level is measured only counting the flow in exit from the tank, with decremental count from the full level (180 lt), recording this number in a variable that reset itself in case of power loss. There is five days of power loss every week (battery on boat are disconnected weekly) so the lev...

giorgino

thank you very much!

As you know, my tank max contains 180 litres, so I subtract the consuption from 180, to obtain the level by the difference.

In your code I don't understand where it get the updated value from the memory (or I have to set it in the device settings?)

I'm really a beginner....

How do you set the value of the Level task?

ok, I'm wrong....

giorgino

something goes wrong in my task..... I count with flowmeter and pass the data in %var1%, than the "Device: Regulator - Level Control Name: WaterLevel" check the TASK and get the value from "GENERIC- PULSE COUNTER" but the data acquired and stored in "output" is differen...

giorgino

You can also use the "Level" plugin, which does actually store the set level in the settings. Just make sure not to call this too often as it will wear out the flash and it can also cause file system fragmentation on small file systems (typically 1M flash units can experience issues with ...

giorgino

You can use a Dummy-Device, where the variables survive a reboot. Shall the var's survive a power-out, then you would have to store the values externally using MQTT, for example. Do you know how long it survives? My application is for the level in the water tank on a boat, so battery sometimes stay...

giorgino

I'm building a simple level counter of a tank, using a waterflow transducer. It works good, and the data is correctly published on my HA server via MQTT. I can't find a solution to save the data during a power off of the ESP32 The solution should be (in rule): ON [WATERFLOW#count] do let,1,[WATERFLO...
